A rebellious tribute to youth and the vibrant city of Warsaw, from the acclaimed young director behind Fuck for Forest and At the Edge of Russia. All These Sleepless Nights portrays a generation of twenty-somethings living in Warsaw, while beautifully immortalising Poland’s lively capital. Micha³ and Krzysztof, two art students, spend their time on endless partying, wandering through the sleepy city and talking about life and its essence, trying to run away from adulthood as long as they can. This film breaks documentary filmmaking rules, pushing its characters to the limit and blurring the lines between reality and fiction. Featuring some real-life raves and great electronic music to party till dawn! Discovered at Sundance and presented at many film festivals worldwide.
